Description
Cross-listed as ENGL 5760 (Criticism) when this topic specified. Required core course for women's studies majors. "Feminism" no longer signifies (if it ever did) a single theory or methodology. Disagreements about what counts as feminist theory rage within the rapidly shifting borders of feminist discouse even as feminists continue to insist that gender be considered a fundamental category of analysis. Readings focus on theoretical texts that articulate feminism(s) with and against other methodologies and critical issues.
